Modify cyber:bot board firmware so that it recovers if ColorPal does not respond #21

If the ColorPal does not respond, the cog running the program will get stuck.

Suggestion: Add code to resetMonitor function in firmware to detect the stall, and respond with an impossible color reading. Add code to colorpal module to detect this response and alert the user.
